We are two women that have loved dogs from the moment we were born. Our ideas are the same in what we seek in a canine companion...health, correct conformation, sound mind, loyalty and above all else, a precious family member. All of our dogs are raised in our homes, underfoot day and night. We have raised and shown our dogs for 40-some years. Standard Poodles, Cockers and always admired the Aussies. We each bought an Aussies and we were so in love. Such a great dog for kids, companionship and good at making you laugh. We think they are smarter than most of their owners including us!
